O Centro de Estudos Internacionais do Iscte – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa e a Escola Superior de Educação e Ciências Sociais do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria realizam, com o apoio do Camões IP, um Estudo e Conferência sobre: Perfil do Estudante dos PALOP nas IES em Portugal: caracterização, expetativas, dificuldades. Este evento visa aprofundar a reflexão sobre a cooperação educacional entre países africanos e outras nações, à luz dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), especialmente o ODS 4 e o ODS 8. É notório um aumento significativo no número de estudantes oriundos dos PALOP no sistema universitário português ao longo da última década. Em virtude dos acordos estabelecidos entre o governo português e os governos de Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, Moçambique e São Tomé e Príncipe, os estudantes desses países têm a oportunidade de concorrer ao ensino superior por meio de vagas designadas para estudantes internacionais, sujeitos ao mesmo valor de propinas aplicado aos estudantes nacionais e do espaço universitário europeu. Apesar do notável aumento de estudantes provenientes destas regiões, os estudos existentes sobre esse grupo são limitados e de natureza monográfica. Torna-se imperativo adquirir um entendimento mais aprofundado dessa nova realidade, na qual Portugal se posiciona alinhado com os ODS, particularmente o ODS 4 e o ODS 8, facilitando assim a formação avançada desses estudantes.

Although many girls serenely navigate the transition to adulthood, many are not provided adequate support and opportunities to achieve their fullest potential. They live in a condition of exclusion because of their migrant background, because belonging to a disadvantaged family or for individual fragility and psychological patterns – and often for these factors combined. Their difficult socio-economic condition makes them ill-equipped to deal with the pressures around them, which in turn make them more likely to suffer from low-esteem, inactive lifestyles, bullying or to experience lower probabilities to attend a school suited to their attitudes. Gender bias often exacerbate their already difficult situations as they perpetuate stereotypes about acceptability of behaviours, interests, and roles for men and women. Within the extensive scientific literature on the multiple dimensions of social exclusion, little attention is paid to the “femaleadolescent” binomial aspects of such processes. At EU level there remains a need to create more, dedicated space for single-sex work with young women, especially those experiencing marginalization. Most projects focus on dealing with perceived problematic behaviour and educational deficiencies of young boys, while the remaining limited programming with girls emerges around their perceived potential victimhood, particularly those of early pregnancy, precocious sexuality and low self-esteem. Instead, little interest is given, within generic youth services, to actions focusing on empowerment,exploring gender equity, or interrogating heteronormative gender discourses. In this context, there is also an emerging socio-economic issue that should not be underestimated: the so called "gender digital divide", which is often based on theroles that provide the social expectations and shape the male or female use of technology. In already disadvantaged contexts, affordability, lack of education, as well as inherent prejudices and socio-cultur...

Over the past few years, civil applications of Drones or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) technologies have been transitioning from purely industrial applications to commercial ones and their impact on transport operations can no longer be ignored. The concept of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has been coined to describe a new type of air traffic at very low altitude. Despite the readiness of the technology, the multidisciplinary employee teams of Local Authorities are not prepared for its integration in transport plans. There are no Training Programs for employees of Local Authorities to cultivate the required knowledge and skills to manage UAM, especially from the position of authorising, implementing and controlling UAM operations. Previous experience of Local Authorities with innovative transport services has indicated that early engagement and training of employees constitutes a key factor for the efficient integration of new technologies in transport systems.
